Welcome from Head of School

Welcome to Harbor Montessori School!

As you explore our website you will see a student-centered school that embraces both individuality and community. At HMS we are committed to sharing the Montessori philosophy with children and their families in a nurturing and peaceful environment.

Harbor Montessori School was founded in 1981 and has been providing a time-tested, research based curriculum for students for over thirty five years. When I started at Harbor Montessori School in 2006, I was impressed by the peaceful setting and the dedicated staff. Though much has changed since I first set foot on campus, I am still smitten with our amazing faculty and our beautiful five acre campus.

Over the past five years the school has seen rapid growth. HMS expanded to include an infant classroom, a second toddler classroom, a third early childhood classroom and more robust and vigorous elementary and middle school programs. The school came together in the spring of 2017 to create a beautiful collaborative garden on campus, as well. HMS has just launched our next strategic plan and we are excited to update our facilities, engage our community further and advance the mission and vision of Harbor Montessori School.

The best part of HMS, of course, is the small school experience. We love our students and pride ourselves on having close connections with children and family. Our open-door policy and commitment to care invite an atmosphere of warmth and acceptance.

I encourage you to explore our website and then schedule a visit to our wonderful school. I look forward to meeting you!
